Terminals 1, 2, 3

The most spacious building is Terminal 3, which mainly handles Transavia and Air France flights.
Terminal 2 is by far the smallest and is located between terminals 1 and 3.
Terminal 1 is a concourse divided into three parts, from which different airlines check in. After passing through security, it is characterized by a significant shortage of seats.
Terminal 4
The original building from the 1960s still boasts the unique architecture of the time. Today, it serves mainly long-haul flights and flights to North Africa.
Terminal 4 is the largest of all and also the most spacious.

Transfer between flights
When transferring between flights, just follow the yellow "Flight Connections" signs. After exiting the aircraft into the terminal, look for the departures board, which will be oriented by the departure gate number.
All terminals are also connected to each other by a transit zone, so there is no need to go all the way out.
Security and passport control
Do you have to go through passport control and-or security when changing planes at Paris-Orly? It depends on where you're flying from and to!
- Schengen -> Schengen: No checkpoint
- Schengen -> Non-Schengen: passport control
- Non-Schengen -> Schengen: passport control and security check
- Non-Schengen -> Non-Schengen: security check
All terminals are interconnected by the transit zone, although the journey from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4 is considerably quicker through the public section even after factoring in time spent at security.
